Default Happy Australia Day
Just to be clear upfront, I realize these are not the best pictures. TheBeadist tried to give me some pointers before I took the fireworks shots. Needless to say, I did not listen.

The point is Australia is a beautiful country with lots of fun things to do and good people.

Happy Australia Day.

A nice way to finish off Australia Day:

Great place to watch the fireworks with the city in the background!

Actually, it looks like you did listen to my tips on the handheld shots

Good job!

My buddy down there just sent me this. He was at those fireworks with his family. He said there was a bunch of girlies running around in these patriotic outfits......

Thanks Karin. But no, they are not very good shots. My comrades were taking plenty of vids and pix on fancy stuff. I mostly just enjoyed. I am going to run another thread with some “random” pix to took on my way home tonight.

Funny thing is about other people’s pix, it that you never get them. You were very nice to burn DVDs for everyone after a g2g’s at Liz’s. I do the same, in giving away memory sticks. Anyway…

I really hope to see you during Mardi Gras.

I'll see you on Sunday, and will bring your King Cake and a new toy for you to play with and shoot the "wildlife"

Mark, what city is those pictures taken of?


This calls for some cake







I made it to Australia while in the Navy and we went to Brisbane. Just happened to be a holiday, not a lot open at that time, so a few of us just wandered around the city. Some guy walked into a pole staring at me as I walked past him as he was going the other way. The guys I was with were

That's my one fond memory of Brisbane.

Perth, Western Austrialia.

I could have mentioned that earlier.
